Holland Park Gate Affordable HousingImages1 / Information
Location Kensington and Chelsea, London
Status On site
Description
The Holland Park Gate development replaces the former Odeon Kensington cinema with a 125,000 sq ft residential led scheme plus associated retail, offices, and a new 7 screen cinema.
Two of the buildings, located on Earls Court Road and Pembroke Place, have been designated as affordable housing for the over 55s in order to address an identified need within the borough. There are 20 apartments in total, comprised of 17 one beds and 3 two beds. Ground floor flats benefit from their own front doors from the street, while more than 10% of all apartments are designated as wheelchair accessible units.
The design of the building on Pembroke Place follows the façade treatment of the adjacent terraces to give the appearance of three houses, while the brick façade of the building on Earls Court Road has been greatly inspired by the varying brown and red brick found within the surrounding conservation areas.
